My Morris 1800 - daily driver. Well, once I get a bit of welding done on it and an MOT.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."

As little as humanly possible.Originally posted by Pogle View PostWhat are the massed ranks of the IT elite up to this weekend?
I shall be driving home at 12, picking up daughter, prescription, shopping then leaving car at garage.
Tomorrow I shall be taking daughter to piano lesson, then riding and constructing a piggy pagoda in the garden.
Sunday i shall be doing BUGGER ALL.
I was planning to get out on the bike on Sunday but after last nights run in with the greenfly I'll probably give it a miss.

My solution when I was living elsewhere was to turn it all into lawn. I started off by renting the biggest petrol lawnmower I could, but ended up buying one.Originally posted by alreadypacked View PostSounds nice having an acre + garden. But when you are not here a lot of the time, it costs a lot when you decide to do something.
It would take the best part of the day to cut, rake, cut again, rake again (repeat and rinse until done). Hard physical work but well enjoyable and I'd start a bonfire in the late afternoon which would last until the early hours. Spuds in the fire, plenty of salady stuff and adequate reserves of beer and wine rounded the day off nicely.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Which model?Originally posted by Lockhouse View PostSunday I plan on washing and polishing Wilma, our 1949 Buick. Then sitting in the garden some more.
It looks like there's a lot of polishing to be done
